    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Had a couple extra bales of pinestraw from putting some out at our church, so I tidied up the back yard as best as I could. Don't judge me on my embarrassingly sparse grass coverage. We will see if I can get some to grow back there this year. :p

    Garage Refresh for the Track Toy (20x20)

    Looks great. Nice transformation. I like the ceiling open. Love the look of the stained rafters and the slatted roof.

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Neighborhood was built in 2004. We've been here since 2010. They had another similar flooding incident almost right after the neigborhood was finished and only recently settled a lawsuit with the engineering company and the sketchy developer. I think there are some undersized or incorrectly...

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Thanks Herb! Had to get caught up on your garage. Looks immaculate as always. We had about 20" of rain over two days back in October and I ended up with about 5 inches of water in my garage. I pulled the tin off the walls to let them air out and haven't gotten around to putting it back up yet...

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Been a while! Sold the Nova a few weeks ago and picked up a 93 GMC Sierra. I realized how much I actually needed a truck after the 66 was gone. This one is a good replacement. Fun to drive, but I'm not worried about using it like a truck as I was with the 66. Rescued a few tools from the...

    Craftsman/Sears Idea X-change...as shady as it seems?

    Stumbled upon this and it just feels like an easy way to steal peoples ideas with vague promises of compensation/credit. Nothing to stop them from taking your idea and running with it after you waive away all of your rights upon submission. http://ideas.craftsman.com/

    Thanks taumac...my low resolution flip phone doesn't pic up a lot of the bad places on the car. Was parked in the weeds for at least the last 5 years and is gonna need some body work down low on pretty much every panel and a new hood. Floor panels are surprisingly solid though. The owner before...

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Still no new work done on the garage . I sold the Frito Lay van to a couple of local guys who build food trucks. It's now being converted for a lady in Kentucky. Here's the most recent project I drug home a few weeks back. 1963 Nova 4 door. Was happy to finally score a set of cheap almost new...

    Model A Ford garage

    Mustang is looking good Bobby. I met a fella (Frank) from the Model A club that bought a camper shell from me, and he put me in touch with another guy from the club (Larry) that might have a radiator for the inline six in my 63 Nova. Really nice guys.

    The Shoestring Garage - my 20'x20' detached

    Thanks Herb! Yes its fully operational. I drove it about 80 miles from where I picked it up. No definite plan for it just yet...price was right so I snagged it. Will either sell it all together if I can find a buyer for the right price, keep the motor and just sell the rolling chassis (my...

    Model A Ford garage

    I saw your tow truck in the Sunday paper the other day...they had an article about the show at the dealership. I appreciate your willingness to give up something you enjoy for something you know will make your wife happy. I don't know you, but that tells me a lot about you already! :thumbup:
